Tracking user sessions
You can configure the EBX® Activity Monitoring Add-on to record user log in and log off activity. When you enable this feature, the following events trigger session tracking:
Log in
Log out
Session timeout
Session destroy
When the add-on records user activity, it stores this information in the 'Event monitoring' and 'User session' tables. The 'Event monitoring' table color codes each event type to increase visibility and tracks session duration. The 'User session' table tracks the session ID and IP address for each user profile.
The following steps describe how to enable event monitoring, turn on session tracking, and specify a maximum number of stored events:
Navigate to 'Administration' → 'Repository management' → 'TIBCO EBX® Activity Monitoring Add-on' → 'Configuration' and select the 'Global' table.
Open the configuration record and in the 'Event tracking' group, set the 'Enable event tracking' property to 'Yes'.
By default the add-on stores 1,000,000 records before deleting records—starting with the oldest. If you would like to change this value, you can do so using the 'Max. number records' property.
To enable session tracking, navigate to the 'Event tracking' table, open the session tracking record and set the 'Enable' to 'Yes'.
The 'Reference data' group's 'Event' table lists available events and assigns them each a unique color. When viewing the stored user sessions in the 'Event monitoring' table, these colors can help you quickly spot different event types.
